The idea of social media is one that keeps some people awake at night. Is the person that you see online a reflection of reality? Or is it a carefully constructed facade to make you think their lives are better than yours? Who knows. But one thing that's certain is the amount of repetitive, boring data one goes through when figuring it out.

A game made for the modern internet user, Osmotic Studios' Orwell tells an incredibly relevant story on the question of privacy in the modern era.

You're given the task of being an investigator - a person assigned to monitor the social media and web posts of individuals of interest. Exactly like real life, you'll find the search for outstanding information to be interesting, despite mindlessly browsing the web.

What's that one girl with the weird mom been getting up to lately? And what about the captain of that one sports team? Oh, that one guy had a band, wonder if they're still toge-oh no they're not. It's so incredibly dull to keep looking at, but the information is just too tantalizing to pass up.

Orwell's repetitive gameplay asks the question: does privacy truly exist anymore?
